[QUOTE="alfredo_buscatti, post: 340953, member: 36"] The more I learn about this the more discouraged I become. Buying from a trusted retailer is better than not doing so but even vendors get fooled by counterfeits, and of those fooled I wonder how many are complicit. Leaving the judgment up to others is a good way to be duped, IMHO. On Cuban sites there are entire threads discussing the authenticity of a single cigar. Many deemed counterfeit are hard to detect in the fraudulent bands, holograms, wrapper. It's not as if, with a checklist, you can check off indications that the cigars are counterfeit. Even guys who’ve made it their business to know disagree. I’m out to smoke great cigars, not play detective. That Cubans are different from non-Cubans is about all that can be said, though they have the cachet. I would be eager to taste the results of Cuban terroir except for the above. [/QUOTE]
